Vow of dedicating a chador to a shrine |
Darulifta Ahlesunnat |

Question |
What do the
blessed ‘Ulama [Islamic scholars] state regarding the following matter: If
someone has made the vow of dedicating a chador [sheet] to the shrine of a
Wali of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is it Wajib [compulsory] to fulfil it? |
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
The vow of
dedicating a chador to the shrine of a pious saint is not a Shar’i vow
because there isn’t any such type of deed Wajib in Shari’ah. Therefore, it is
not Wajib to fulfil it. However, it is better to spread [i.e. dedicate] a
chador on the shrines of pious saints with the intention of attaining
blessings. |
وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ
عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ
تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم |
